Breathe new life into your wardrobe with the latest trend in paper-bag waistlines.
As every fashionista already knows, the 80’s are back - and with a brand new take on the decade’s paper-bag waist. Loose in fit and casually pulled in at the waist, soft pants, shorts and skirts are made for comfort this season. Chloé best illustrated the trend’s fashion-forward versatility with precious metal sheens and satiny finishes. Often, runway is a far cry from reality but British It girl, Alexa Chung, embraces the DIY properties of the trend with a hiked up full skirt, neatly belted for a perfectly ruffled effect. Be sure to keep in mind that the fullness of this trend makes it a statement piece in itself and the rest of your outfit should pay modest attention to your silhouette. To get the right look, tuck in a t-shirt or blouse and perhaps top it off with a cropped cardigan and voilà! Effortless and oh-so-chic—now that’s what we call style!
